In association with Mrityunjay Ashram Trust, Phaltan, Sustainability Initiatives was involved in the existing land use Survey for the 3rd revision of the draft Development Plan of Phaltan. As a growing town of 50,000 population, Phaltan was looking at developing a Plan to chart a direction for its otherwise haphazard and rapid urban growth. The existing land use (ELU) map was created after an extensive ground survey involving students from BNCA and a local school. The ELU, along with the land use also mapped existing infrastructure, services, building typologies, age of construction etc. Based on the ELU, it was analyzed that Phaltan, with its projected urban development will lack the basic civic amenities and hence an alternative for extension of urban jurisdiction was proposed. The work currently stands at the level of State Cabinet approval.
